Elie Saab’s Romantic Far West
With this Autumn-Winter 24/25 ready-to-wear collection, Lebanese Maison Elie Saab plunged us into a rich universe; where contemporary trends meet timeless elegance, and femininity intermingles with Far West boldness, a universe where flowers become a sign of unrivalled sophistication.
Coats embellished with big flowers, sparkling ankle boots and vapourous dresses carved out the path of the modern woman, steeped in the current driving her generation yet firmly attached to her preciousness. Fringed jackets, Western-style blazers and denim costumes merged with touches of bohemian lace. In the same way, skirts meet cargo pockets, exuding a modern and elegant allure.
Flowers play a major role in this cowboy-chic atmosphere, as they embody Elie Saab’s signature style. Bouquets in relief ornament coats and shoulders are adorned with floral motifs. The colour palette is vibrant and bursting into monochrome, oscillating between olive green, intense violet, old pink, immaculate white and deep black.
Needless to say, an Elie Saab Fashion Show wouldn’t be worth its name without the appearance of sophisticated night dresses. The collection was crowned by cocktail dresses, veritable odes to femininity, which lit up the stage with their glittering reflections. As if that wasn’t enough, Alessandra Ambrosio made a stunning appearance on the catwalk, wrapped in a sparkling pink maxi dress.
We ran into Olivia Palermo, Heart Evangelista, Molly Chiang, Lara Cosima, Paul Forman, Sandra Shehab, and Léonie Hanne.
